The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 59: Request
SamaraEverything about the last two days has been overwhelming. Even Alpha Sterling had seemed like it was all too much. We’d been standing, holding each other in my father's old office when Luna Devi mind linked me to see if I could help her with the pups. Alpha Sterling came upstairs with me and while he played with Slade, Luna Devi showed me how to change Aria and give her a bottle. The moment I sat down in that rocking chair and watched Aria suckling on the bottle, something inside me flipped.No matter how terrible things are right now, no matter how much I have suffered, how much so many people have suffered because of what Althea and Sawyer did, Roman and I have produced something good, something beautiful. This baby inside me feels like the start of a change in our lives, the start of something positive that will shift us away from all the bad things that have happened. This little pup in my belly is hope for a better future. And when Roman came into the room, I could tell he
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 58: Detective Timothy
RomanAfter getting Sloane settled into her bed and letting my mother know where she is, I collect the letters and put them back in the box. Then, Samara and I go in search of my father.I’m so angry at what Sawyer and Althea did. I wish I could bring Sawyer back to life just so I could kill him again.“Do we tell her?” Samara murmurs softly as we make our way through the pack.“Not yet. Let’s see how she handles this. It’s a lot for someone so young. I know you were strong, but you had support too. We’ll support her and help her through this, but I won’t lie to her, Samara. We’ve all had enough deceit to last us a lifetime. If she wants to take a DNA test, I’ll allow it. She deserves to know who her real father was.”“But would it be easier for her to know that her father was a murderer, or that he was murdered by her mother and fated mate. Goddess, no wonder Gillian wanted to die. Roman, I can’t imagine ...”Her voice chokes off and I stop, pulling her into my arms.“You were never t
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 57: Sloane's Anguish
SamaraWhen we got to the Alpha floor after leaving the pack hospital, we saw that Sawyer and Althea’s bedroom door was ajar. When we stepped in, we quietly gestured for Luna Devi to step out into the hallway with us.“Sloane?” Roman asked when she was in the hall with the door partly closed again.“Yes. She was afraid that someone might take her parents’ things and destroy them before she could get what she wanted. She’s struggling, the poor dear, but she’s trying hard to hold herself together.”“Thanks for being here with her, Luna. I know that can’t be easy,” I say.“Easier than it is for her, I’m sure,” she says, looking over her shoulder.“While we have you alone, Mom, Samara and I wanted to tell you something. We haven’t seen dad yet, but I’m not sure when we can all be alone together at once, so while we have you,” he says, looking at me and wrapping an arm around me.Luna Devi gasps. “You’re pregnant?” she whispers excitedly.“I’m pregnant!” I whisper back, the tears from earli
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 56: Derrick
RomanIt’s one thing to adore pups. It’s one thing to think that your mate is pregnant. But to see and hear the proof of it, to know that my pup is growing inside my mate’s belly, I’m not sure I’ve ever felt such love or fear in my life.My overwhelming love for my mate is expected. But the love for this pup, this pup that I can’t even see, is completely unexpected. The fear makes perfect sense. I already knew that I couldn’t live without my mate. But I will never, ever allow anyone to harm my pup. And as that realization settles in, all the ways, all the things and people who could potentially harm my pup, settles heavily on my shoulders.But I push that aside as my mate bursts into tears. Her emotions have been all over the place since I mentioned coming here. They were before that too, but once the idea of a pup was in her head, I felt her emotions spike with everything that has happened and everything that still needs to happen.So, I ignore the goo on her stomach and Dr. Nelson, a
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 55: Pregnancy Test
SamaraMy emotions are all over the place on the way to the pack hospital. First, I can feel Roman’s excitement about me possibly being pregnant with his pup. I love how protective he already is and he doesn’t even know if I’m pregnant.And I’m excited too. The idea of having Roman’s pup makes me very happy. But the timing couldn’t be worse. We’ve just killed Sawyer and Althea, taken on their pups as our own, one of which is a newborn, we have a pack of people that need assurance that they are safe, and we still have an Alpha and his pack that we need to deal with. And now, I might be pregnant.Roman stops, turning me to face him. “We will get through it all, Samara and we’ll do it together. You’re not alone anymore. I’m not going anywhere. I’m excited to start our life together. Could things be a bit easier? Yes. But you and I have been working towards the goal of avenging your family for nine years. I’m not sure what you expected to happen after you killed Sawyer, but I’ve known that
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 54: Next Steps
RomanSettling the pack was easier than I expected. Whether it’s because Samara is a white wolf or because most, if not all, of the pack heard Gillian talking about Althea and Sawyer’s betrayal, there was no blow back from us killing their Alpha and Luna.Mostly, everyone was concerned about what would happen to them and if they would have to leave their home. I told them we were still making a decision about that, and then, I planned a private lunch with myself, Samara, my father, Beta Adam, and Gamma Kyle.“There are some things that need to be addressed,” I say, once we're in Sawyer's old office and I'm sitting beside Samara, making sure that she’s eating. She ate this morning, but I noticed that she struggled to force her food down nearly as much as Sloane did.“First, we need to decide who is going to lead this pack. Samara and I are currently in agreement that we do not want Slade to inherit this pack. His parents betrayed and murdered the Alpha family and while I don’t want him
